Back in February, I realized that September 22 was going to have a dual meaning for me. It was Kyle & Mattie’s wedding day AND it was the due date for my first baby! Yikes! I had absolutely no idea what to expect: this was the first time I had been pregnant everything was new! Not…

I write this often in my blog posts, and I guess I seriously do have the best couples, but I adore Peter & Kathryn. These two are just so cool in the educated-nerdy-adventure-seeking kind of way (aka super cool to this boring nerd, haha). Not only are they pursuing their dreams and enjoying travels and…

It’s an honor to photograph every wedding, but it’s especially sweet when you’ve actually had a ringside sit to watch the bride and groom’s relationship form and grow. I’ve known Abbie basically forever and I adore her entire family. They are a HUGE reason I’m a photographer today! And so to finally watch her and…

From the moment I met Elliott & Stephanie, I knew their wedding was going to be one to remember! I had so much fun exploring and adventuring through Big Rock Park for their engagements and their wedding was exactly the same! Bowling Green, KY was a nice middle ground for their family and friends at…

My 2017 & 2018 wedding sesasons have been so fun getting to explore and learn more about Louisville and the surrounding areas! My couples introduce me to the most gorgeous places. Jon & Amanda first introduced me to Mt. Saint Francis last fall and have now introduced me to the lovely Pepin Mansion. Jon & Amanda…

May 19, 2018 may go down in the history books as the day of the official royal wedding of Harry and Meghan, but for a lot of us photographers here in the states, we celebrated our own type of royal weddings! Sam & Jessica’s wedding day was it’s own kind of royal complete with beautiful…

Ryan & Madalyn kicked off my May wedding season in the most beautiful, classy way last weekend. Big Spring Country Club was such a pretty location for their ceremony and I loved that they carried on a long-standing family tradition of marrying at Our Lady of the Lourdes. Generations of Madayln’s family have tied the knot…

April is quickly becoming one of my favorite months for weddings. It’s not too hot, not too cold, flowers are blooming, and spring is in the air! So if you can avoid the infamous April showers, you are looking at beautiful day for a wedding and that’s exactly what happened for Mark & Johanna! A…

I know I’m not alone when I say I’ve been loving these occasional warm spring/summer-like days! Thankfully, Mike & Brittany had a flexible schedule and we were able to pick the warmest, prettiest day last week! The sun was out, the skies were blue, and it was well into the 70s! We met at Buffalo…

I know the months of November-March aren’t the most ideal for photos. The grass turns brown, the trees are bare, and of course, it’s generally COLD. But there is just something so lovely about wintertime, even without snow. The light is softer and more flattering because the sun doesn’t get quite as high in the…
